Orochi Longevity

Talking about the past, Ling Xuzi, who was over two hundred years old, was still a little emotional, his lips trembling slightly, and he continued to talk.

"My mother was silent for a long time after listening to my question, and finally she only answered me with two words. Eat*!"

Ling Xuzi, who was still a child, turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said, *how can I eat it! ?

The mother didn't answer, just stared at him and said:

"I'll eat you tomorrow!"

Ling Xuzi was afraid and asked his mother why, and his mother said:

"I went out to look for food in the first few days. I didn't eat for a day, and I didn't even gnaw on the bark. I was so hungry that I was dizzy. Later, I passed by a ruined temple and saw a wolf skin on the ground, so I left. I used to lie on it to rest, and fell asleep not long after. Who knew that after waking up, I turned into a wolf. I didn’t know it at the time, I just thought it was a dream... I dreamed that I turned into a hungry wolf. When I came out on the road, I saw an old rabbit passing by, I snatched his pancakes, and swallowed him in one gulp, my stomach was very full."

"In the evening, I went back to the ruined temple and fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that the wolf's fur had fallen off, and I became a human again, but my stomach was still full. What surprised me even more was that I was still holding That old rabbit's cake!"

"It's been like this every day since then. I'm confused every day. I don't know whether I am a man or a wolf. If this continues, I'm afraid I will eat you. I really can't bear it, and I don't want to do this. My child, you must remember to go to the wolf tomorrow morning." Make a straw man and stuff a live chicken inside, and you must not make a sound when the time comes."

After Ling Xuzi's mother finished speaking, she left money and food for Ling Xuzi, and then left the house. She was so fast that Ling Xuzi couldn't catch up no matter how hard she tried, and finally had to go home by herself.

Only then did he discover that the money his mother had left for him was packed in many different purses.

He was afraid, so he told his neighbor about it. The old lady of the neighbor was skeptical, bought a live chicken at a big price according to his mother's instructions, and made a scarecrow.

At noon the next day, a giant wolf jumped in from the yard and tried to force the door open, but it couldn't. It had to tear up the straw man in the yard and ate the live chicken inside.

After the wolf jumped out of the courtyard wall, Ling Xuzi heard noises from neighbors outside, and found that the neighbors had spotted the wolf and were chasing after it with their weapons.

He hurriedly followed, but saw that the wolf had returned to the ruined temple, so a young and middle-aged man took advantage of the wolf lying down to rest and grabbed its tail. The wolf struggled to escape with its tail broken, and never returned to human form.

Later, when the villagers saw the bald-tailed wolf, they would call Ling Xuzi's mother's name. When the wolf heard it, it would turn around and leave without biting or daring to recognize each other.

Since then, Ling Xuzi can always see all kinds of food in front of his house. People in the village said that it was because his mother was reluctant to part with him and was still secretly protecting him!

"After my mother left, I never saw her again... until one night, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw a bald-tailed wolf sitting by my bed watching me weeping."

In Lingxuzi's eye sockets, there was water overflowing:

"I'm not afraid of that wolf, because I know it's my mother, so I went up and hugged it."

The bald-tailed wolf also hugged Ling Xuzi, weeping, Ling Xuzi heard his mother's voice from the wolf's mouth:

"My child, I am going to die, but I am really worried about you! In this world, you are a child with no one to protect you, what should you do?"

"How about this! After I die, you can cut open my skin with a knife and put the skin on your body. Then you can become a wolf, and you will never have to be afraid of others again!"

Just like that, Ling Xuzi transformed from a human into a wolf, and into a monster.

Over the past two hundred years, it has gradually learned how to manipulate supernatural powers, retain its sanity, and finally reappear in human form.

"..."

After hearing Ling Xuzi's experience, Snake was speechless for a while.

It used to only think that Ling Xuzi was a monster who turned into a man, but it didn't expect that he was a man who turned into a demon.

No wonder he has such a strong sense of humanity.

"I've heard that every time a person commits an evil deed, he will go to hell and suffer from cramping pain. If he does too much evil, he will fall into the 18th hell for eternity and cannot escape."

"But my mother did so many evil things for me. I really can't bear my mother's eternal suffering and cannot step into the path of reincarnation."

"So in the past two hundred years, I have done my best and helped others. I just hope that I can accumulate some virtue for my mother so that she can avoid punishment as soon as possible."

Ling Xuzi withdrew his gaze from the window, and looked at the white-clothed scholar seriously:

"Brother, please believe me, I'm really not a bad person! The fact just now was an accident, don't blame me."

hiss……

Inside the dead body, the white snake spit out the letter, slightly touching the indifferent heart.

It can't understand where this emotion comes from, and it doesn't know how long this emotion can last. But at this moment, it must admit that it was indeed moved by this story.

"I don't blame you, it's just a trivial matter."

For this reason, the snake manipulated He Yu'an's body and spoke gently.

Canglang scratched his head in embarrassment, laughed twice, and after a while he suddenly said:

"Brother, I won't be able to sleep tonight anyway, why don't you accompany me to the Guanyin Temple? Every time I come to the Guanyin Temple, I have to worship in front of the Guanyin Master, so that he can bless my poor old mother." .”

The scholar in white nodded lightly:

"good."

The words of the snake are sincere.

At least for the moment it is sincere.

So the two sneaked open the door, and sneaked through the Guanyin Temple, all the way to the largest temple.

There was no gate in this temple, and the moonlight shone unimpeded inside. When the snake raised his head, he saw a giant statue of Avalokitesvara ten meters high.

The moonlight shines on the benevolent face of the golden statue of Guanyin, and it seems like a real god coming to the world for a while.

"...People say that Guanyin Temple is very effective. If you have something to ask, you can try it."

Before stepping into the Guanyin Hall, Ling Xuzi lowered his voice and whispered something to the snake.

Then he entered the temple respectfully, holding incense and chanting:

"Master Guanyin, I have done another twelve good deeds this year! Healed seven diseases and saved three lives."

"I also hope that Master Guanyin will recite my dedication to goodness, so that my mother can escape from the suffering of hell as soon as possible, and reincarnate into a new life!"

As Ling Xuzi said, he bowed devoutly on the futon three times.

Afterwards, he seemed to be very happy, and walked out of the Guanyin Hall happily.

Seeing that the white-clothed scholar was standing outside the hall all the time, he asked curiously:

"Brother, why don't you go in and pay your respects? Don't you ask for nothing?"

The snake just shook his head lightly:

"Compared to gods and Buddhas, I would rather seek myself."

Then he turned and left:

"Let's go quickly."

Just now when Ling Xuzi knelt down piously, he had the courage to carefully feel the gaze shrouded in Guanyin Temple.

But it found that there was no change in that gaze.

Ling Xuzi's words of prayer may have disappeared with the wind and disappeared into the dust and smoke.
